First Detection and Molecular Characterization of Apple Stem Grooving Virus, Apple Chlorotic Leaf Spot Virus, and Apple Hammerhead Viroid in Loquat in Spain [PDF]
Loquat (Eriobotrya japonica) is an important crop in Spain. To date, only one viral species, apple stem pitting virus (ASPV), has been detected in Spanish loquat orchards. In this study, the presence of additional viruses infecting this crop in Spain was

Genome Sequences of Three Apple chlorotic leaf spot virus Isolates from Hawthorns in China. [PDF]
The genome sequences of Apple chlorotic leaf spot virus (ACLSV) isolates from three accessions of hawthorns (Crataegus pinnatifida) grown at Shenyang Agricultural University were determined using Illumina RNA-seq. To confirm the assembly data from the de

Generation of an Infectious Clone of a New Korean Isolate of Apple chlorotic leaf spot virus Driven by Dual 35S and T7 Promoters in a Versatile Binary Vector [PDF]
The full-length sequence of a new isolate of Apple chlorotic leaf spot virus (ACLSV) from Korea was divergent, but most closely related to the Japanese isolate A4, at 84% nucleotide identity. The full-length cDNA of the Korean isolate of ACLSV was cloned

Molecular Detection of Latent Apple chlorotic leaf spot virus in Elite Mother Plants of Apple. [PDF]
Apple chlorotic leaf spot virus (ACLSV; family Betaflexiviridae genus Trichovirus) is one of the economically important latent virus infecting apple (Malus × domestica Borkh.). Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) procedures were used to amplify coat protein gene of ACLSV.

Viruses of Apple Are Seedborne but Likely Not Vertically Transmitted [PDF]
Many viruses occur in apple (Malus domestica (Borkh.)), but no information is available on their seed transmissibility. Here, we report that six viruses infecting apple trees, namely, apple chlorotic leaf spot virus (ACLSV), apple green crinkle ...

A comparative template-switching cDNA approach for HTS-based multiplex detection of three viruses and one viroid commonly found in apple trees [PDF]
Exclusion is a keystone of integrated pest management to prevent the introduction of pathogens. U.S. plant quarantine programs employ PCR and high-throughput sequencing (HTS) to test imported plants for viruses and viroids of concern.
